Adam joins Mavs’ staff

NEWINGTON — USA Training Centers, USA Mavericks and Seacoast Mavericks, part of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League, have announced the addition of Dave Adam to the staff.

A 1994 graduate from Central Connecticut State University, Dave was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 1990 MLB Draft. He joined the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Houston Astros in the spring of 1998. In July 1998, Dave pitched in Mexico for the Mexico City Tigres. Adam finished his career in the Atlantic League with the Bridgeport Bluefish from 1999-2000 and led the league in saves as well as winning the Atlantic League Championship in 1999.

From 2001 to 2005 he worked as an associate scout for the Pittsburg Pirates. Locally in 2001-02 he was the assistant coach for Oyster River High School. In 2002-03 he was the head coach for Hesser College in Manchester. From 2004 until 2011, Dave was the head coach at Newmarket High School. He was named Foster’s Daily Democrat Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008, where he led the Newmarket Mules to the state finals. Dave Adam is currently the owner of the Seacoast Fall Baseball League and Strike Three Baseball.

“What Dave brings to our program is his wealth of experience as well as a ton of gathered information from the best research available,” Mavericks’ owner Dave Hoyt said. “He has the ability to deliver that knowledge to the Maverick pitchers and staff. We are thrilled to have him. With regard to management and operations, this will greatly benefit USA Training Centers, USA Mavericks Club, and the Seacoast Mavericks moving forward.”

“Joining the Mavericks program is an opportunity to work exclusively with pitchers and continue to develop a pitching program that is up to date with technology and current training methods with a larger number of players,” Adam said. “It also gives me a chance to teach pitching on the New Hampshire Seacoast where I started 12 years ago.”
